Re: [FRIAM] new thermal tech

I am somewhat puzzled by the discussion surrounding the efficiency of heat pumps in relation to the laws of thermodynamics. If my understanding is correct, the salient question being raised is whether it is possible for a heat pump to transfer 3 to 4 kW of heat using only 1 kW of electricity, which

In my current perspective, the integration of automation and artificial intelligence *in the coming decade* will significantly impact employment opportunities. However, I also believe that in this future, there will be an abundance of material resources, allowing individuals to access the products

[FRIAM] Sorting Algorithm? AI? Identifying "types" within data

Greetings all, I'm hoping someone here could help out. Let's imagine I had some data where each row was a person's career. We could list major events every year. For example: 2004 they were highered, 2007 they get a promotion, 2010 they leave for a different company, 2012 they come back at a highe

Re: [FRIAM] new thermal tech

I assume “delivers” would have been a better word choice than “produces”. After we create better schools to teach our kids government and citizenship, we should move on and teach them to understand thermodynamics. > On Jan 6, 2023, at 12:27 PM, Gary Schiltz wrote: > > Amusing indeed (the PV

Re: [FRIAM] new thermal tech

Amusing indeed (the PV magazine article). The pump “reportedly produces 3 kW to 4 kW of heat for every kilowatt of power it consumes”. Say what? On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 8:28 AM Roger Critchlow wrote: > > I was amused to see an announcement of a thermoacoustic heat pump the other > day: > > >

Very nice to see the Allen workflows plugged together this way. Thanks. On 1/6/23 06:41, Roger Critchlow wrote: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-05563-7 Take your pluripotent human stem cell line, make 25 cell lines with different

I was amused to see an announcement of a thermoacoustic heat pump the other day: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/01/02/residential-thermo-acoustic-heat-pump-produces-water-up-to-80-c/ then an ionocaloric refrigerator announcement turns up this morning https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2023/01/03/c

Re: [FRIAM] more bullsh¡t

Your use of chatGTP, Pieter, is to my mind a very interesting thread. There was a columnist for the New York Times many years ago, named William Safire. I don’t even remember now what he wrote about, but he was known, and was significant to me, for being an example of “a good writer”. Safire w
